Chapter 8: The Church Contrast
Lawrence found himself underestimating Catherine.
Catherine's strength is not only innate ability, but also many acquired abilities.
Such as excellent balance, stamina, and, superb riding skills!
At night, Catherine showed off her superb riding skills, leaving the likes of Sarriel and Sophia stunned.
During the day, she is a cold and beautiful black long straight beauty, and at night she is passionate and her long hair is fluttering.
As Sariel said, Lawrence is working these days on how to make ordinary life more interesting.
During the day, while the group was playing cards in the house, Emma and Navia returned.
"Master, Brielier is taking those new women to pray in the church, and we will come back to serve you first."
Emma respectfully proclaimed her heart.
Since the dark elf maid came over in the spring, Emma and the others have obviously been left out a lot in the past six months.
Serving the master in the bath, and many things in the house are done by the newcomers of the dark elves, and they are busy with things outside.
When Lawrence saw the outfit Emma and Navia were wearing, he immediately had an idea.
"Sophia, you play cards for me."
"Yes, master!"
Sophia quickly took Lawrence's place and played cards with Sariel, Delenn, and Catherine.
Lawrence walked up to Emma, "You two came back just in time, I have nothing to do during this time, and I will be busy at the manor all the time." ”
"Call the seamstress, and I'm going to make a few more beautiful outfits, such as a nun's costume, a saint's costume, and a new maid's dress."
"Yes, master." Emma quickly went to call someone.
Lawrence walked to the side of the chair and sat down, and said to Navia:
"Navia, now that we have established contact with the Western Kingdom, if you miss your family, you can write back next year to have a look."
Navia walked over to Lawrence and stood up, she hadn't been home in years from her coastal area of Durella.
"Thank you, master." "I think it's better here," Navia said, "because my family didn't count on me when they sent me to the convent, and now I'm very satisfied." ”
Lawrence smiled, "People always need some honor, even if it's just for a while, at least once they were." ”
"I'll go to Flying Fish City, my new territory next spring, and then you can take a boat to Durella, and I'll give you some gold and clothes then."
"You can tell everybody that you didn't die tragically, that something unfortunate didn't happen to you, that you're doing well."
"You are now a nun in the Church of the Stars, the head of a church of five hundred, and one of the housestewards of the Great Prophet Lawrence's Raven Feather Estate."
Navia didn't have much idea of contacting her family, but after Lawrence said this, she quickly had the idea of returning to her hometown to show off.
"Yes, master!" Navia plans to go back and check it out and let everyone know that she's doing well!
Lawrence continued: "But you also have to tell those people that you are a nun now, and that you will be a nun who belongs to the Church of the Stars and serves God in the future, and that you will not go back in the future. ”
Navia replied solemnly: "Yes, master! ”
Lawrence didn't have anything else to do.
Navia quickly said, "Master, I asked the merchant of Durella about Colin. ”
Colin, one of the three nuns at the time, chose not to stay, nor did she choose to betray the god of the dawn, and finally returned to her hometown.
"Is she okay?" Lawrence wanted to hear about what Colin was doing now.
Navia replied, "She was sent by her family to be a nun in a convent in the country, a dilapidated convent that was said to have only one old nun. ”
"It's pitiful, her family won't spend money to send her to a good convent."
Lawrence was curious: "I thought she would get married when she went back." ”
Navia shook her head and said, "No, if you marry someone and marry someone who doesn't have a noble title, it will be a shameful thing." ”
"If she marries a nobleman or a knight, her family will have to prepare a dowry for her, and if she becomes a nun, the rest of her brothers and sisters will not have to go to the convent."
Lawrence still didn't know much about the rules of the church in the outside world.
"The Dawn Church will also send someone to me next year, anyway, I can't fight for the time being, whether it is the God of Dawn or the God of the Stars, it will be a good thing to communicate at that time."
When Sariel heard this, she was curious: "Lawrence, didn't you hate that church before?" ”
Lawrence argued: "I do not reject the approach of the power of the church, whether it is fist or reasoning, I am not afraid. ”
"If the God of Dawn is so powerful, why is it the God of Stars who saves this place?"
"Obviously, we have ceded the Western Kingdom for peace, can it be that the group of missionaries saying that their gods will endure can make us think that their gods are very powerful?"
Lofen III would join the Southern Kingdom and be assassinated because he had not only believed in the Southern Church, but also betrayed the basic plate of the barbarians.
He was not human inside and out, and was eventually assassinated by the southerners and disliked by the northerners.
Lawrence used to worry about the minions of the church, but now that he is strong, he can openly engage with them.
However, direct contact is still too dangerous, and this group of religious people is also fond of assassination, and Lawrence will not have direct contact with them.
To be precise, assassination, although I am very angry at this kind of unmartial means, but sometimes it must be admitted that assassination is one of the best options to solve the problem in this era.
In a period when the organization was backward and the whole system was completely dependent on one person, the assassination method was worth a battle once it was successful.
Sariel was curious: "Lawrence, is the God of the Western Church very powerful?" ”
Lawrence explained, "No, the missionaries there will make you do a lot of things, saying that after you die, you can go to the kingdom of God." ”
Sariel became even more curious, and while playing cards and thinking about playing cards, she casually asked, "What is the Kingdom of God?" ”
Lawrence described.
"In the kingdom of the god of the dawn, there is endless bread to eat, and there is endless mountain spring water, but there is no honey, no pancakes, no barbecue, and there is not much stuff."
Sariel roughly understood, "It must be that the god of stars is more powerful, if I can't eat a bite of fried chicken legs after I die, I won't go to his kingdom." ”
That's where Lawrence excels!
The missionaries of the Dawn Church could not depict such a splendid and colorful paradise at all.
The joy they couldn't imagine, Lawrence has experienced!!
